[+Transmission] Happy New Year! Today marks 5 years since we released our debut album "Random Accessed Memories". This is the album that started it all in Anakinland and we are so very proud to see our baby turn 5 years old!

With that said, we've had many Fanakins over the past 5 years write in and ask us to press this album on vinyl so we've decided to try and make that happen but we will need your help to do so. We've launched a Kickstarter in an attempt to raise money to do a small vinyl run on "Random Accessed Memories" which you can visit here. The plan is to press 350 transparent vinyl and 150 translucent red vinyl in addition to an exclusive Kickstarter vinyl variant to be chosen by you.

There are several reward options to choose within the Kickstarter but one that we're especially stoked to have made is a limited edition 5 year anniversary poster print in which the entire RAM robot on the album cover can be seen in detail in all his awesomeness! These special anniversary posters will be a one time print, hand numbered and only available to Kickstarter backers.

We have one shot to make this happen and time runs out on January 20th so let's see what we can do! [-Transmission]
